Shackled City Adventure Path

[Dog Moon]

Aldreneth frowns and he pauses, looking off in the distance - strange considering that there isn't much of a distance within the common room. He snaps his fingers. "Another idea. I'll go to the entrance of the cave. You Scry on me, see my surrounding location, and then Teleport to me, which will give you a high chance of being successful. It should be cheaper and nets Xerxes additional spells. This puts only me in possible danger and should make it much easier for everyone. Also, with purchasing these items, we will be able to leave tomorrow."

He looks at the others, awaiting their responses. "I do have a potion of Invisibility and can fly without a spell or potion and can see well at night," he adds, explaining why it might be best for him to go instead of anyone else.

Excited to FINALLY get going...again. "Fakessscalesss think sssmart like Blackhaired. Slitz wantsss to leave now."

Suddenly he stops as if something just hit him. He then turns to Aldreneth and starts slowly looking at him from head to foot. "Slitz not see Fakesscaless wings. How does Fakessscaless fly?"

 

[Laguz]

Laguz turns to Xerxes, "Can you obtain these spells? I know a teleport is beyond my power. But perhaps we could afford to hire someone to cast them for us, if such a person can be found."

 

[Dog Moon]

"I'm sure Skie would have these scrolls or at least know where to find them. You should still be able to cast them off of a Scroll," Aldreneth points out.

Laguz turns to Xerxes, "Can you obtain these spells? I know a teleport is beyond my power. But perhaps we could afford to hire someone to cast them for us, if such a person can be found."

"I know of Dimension door but not of actual teleportation as per the spell named such. The powers of flight though escape me."

 

[Laguz]

Laguz stares off at the fire, obviously not happy with any of the options. "Well, other then using up my spells, I don't have enough money for any of the options. So, unless someone has the money to dish up, then it is the only option we have. Scrolls are nice but unless you are trained to handle that level of power, they can go astray. I for one do not wish to rematerialize half imbeded on the rock. So if we need a teleport, I think we need to get someone to take us, and that will cost as well.

So, I think our option come done to pay gold for someone to teleport us, or pay me with 8 hours of protected rest. So what shall it be?"

 

[Charberus]

Slitz seems bothered by the comments going around. "Slitz thinksss we tribe walk halfway then fly halfway. Slitz annoyed at all new quessstionssss."

Then turning to Aldreneth, grinning "Slitz thinksss Fakessscalesss isss hero ssso Fakessscalesss get we tribe there free. Fakessscaless and Blackhaired go ussse fancy wordsss on wizard. "

Going over to Xerxes, Slitz points and says, "Twofangsss needsss more drink. Slitz remembersss new thingsss after many beersss. Twofangsss will remember many ssspellsss. We tribe drinksss so when Fakesscalesss and Blackhaired comesss, Twofangsss remember spellsss."

Slitz then yells out for the nearest wench, "MANY DRINKSSS FOR TWOFANGSSS HERE!!!" Gleefully jumping up and down on chair as he prepares for a fun time in trying to remember the flying and teleporting spells.

Totally ignoring the Lizard, Aldreneth keeps his attention on Laguz. He shrugs. "That's fine with me. I was simply offering an alternative. Since I only need a potion of Invisibility, I'll pay for that. So we have to wait five additional days?" he asks. "I'm sure I can find something to do in the meantime," he muses.

 

[Laguz]

"You misunderstand I think," replies Laguz, "We can go tommorrow, but I will be drained and need rest. Given 5 days and some gold for materials, we can get there and I will still have a reasonable amount of power left. I am correct in saying, you are willing to wait and willing to pay for your own potions?" Laguz looks at the other 2, "If you can come up with 800 each, that should be enough for potions to cover both of you as well."

 

[Dog Moon]

"Ah, yes, I did misunderstand. Preferably, I would like to get there sooner. We don't know how long the Tercival has to live, assuming he remains alive. Although I am curious as to why you cannot split the castings with Xerxes, spreading the burden and allowing both of you to retain some combat power."

Aldreneth finishes his dinner as he waits for the response. "If need be," he mentions, "We can purchase scrolls of Flight or Invisibility to put into your book, assuming one of you needs such. Being lesser spells, they will not be expensive."
